Warning
Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies before
disassembling work.
Be careful not to get yourself burnt with the pipes and other parts that are heated by
the gas brazing machine.
If the refrigerant gas leaks during work, ventilate the room. (If the refrigerant gas is
exposed to flames, toxic gas may be generated.)
Since it may happen that the refrigerant oil in the compressor catches fire, prepare wet
cloth so as to extinguish fire immediately.
Caution
From the viewpoint of global environment protection, do not discharge the refrigerant
gas in the atmosphere. Make sure to collect all the refrigerant gas.
Restore the piping by non-oxidation brazing.
Note
Before working, make sure that the refrigerant gas is empty in the circuit.
Be sure to apply nitrogen replacement when heating up the brazed part.
Do not use a metal saw for cutting pipes by all means because the sawdust comes into
the circuit.
When withdrawing the pipes, be careful not to pinch them firmly with pliers. The pipes
may get deformed.
Provide a protective sheet or a steel plate so that the brazing flame cannot influence
peripheries.
Be careful so as not to burn the compressor terminals, the name plate, the outdoor
heat exchanger fin
In case of difficulty with gas brazing machine.
1. Disconnect the brazed part where is easy to disconnect and restore.
